Was there a player review this week?

I can understand if there wasn't.

I don't know how Strauss went but it's disappointing he doesn't look like getting a go this year particularly as he seemed to be part of Roos plans during pre-season. In the sessions I saw he was a stand out but unfortunately it hasn't translated to senior footy. I wonder if he's delisted if we'll rookie him in the hope of "getting another Jetta".

I don't think it's a case of if he's delisted, but when.

I'd be very surprised if a sixth-year player who has not been good enough to play a game in the seniors all year gets another contract on the senior list.

Whether he gets re-rookied remains to be seen; I wouldn't have thought there's much point as we just haven't seen anywhere near enough from him over the years (including this one) to suggest there is a future there.

    Really disappointing.

    Skills have always been his strength, but clearly his other areas have not improved one iota.

    What happened to the kid who started to show some defensive tenacity immediately before breaking his leg?

    Such a waste...

    Going by the player review, I'd be very surprised if Terlich gets another game - but I can't wait for James Harmes to be elevated off the rookie list (it will happen)!

    about to be delisted for the 2nd time by the same coach at 2 different clubs

    I think it's more about having higher expectations of Terlich.

    Some of the others I think they have given up on.

    Especially someone like Strauss.

    No player's future is ever decided on one single game. Col Garland would have been delisted after his debut if it was, because it was a shocker. What if Terlich gets 45 touches and kicks 5 goals in the VFL next week?

    I think the more apt question is "what if Terlich shuts down his opponent next week?"

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
